Tasting Notes
Brett Grocke is a 6th generation Barossan who believes in 'wines built from the dirt up'. This Magnolia Blanc (100% Semillon) is exactly that. The fruit comes off the organically-farmed Magnolia Vineyard planted on the granitic sands below Mengler's Hill in the Vine Vale subregion of the Barossa.
Unfined and unfiltered, the waxy Semillon sits long on your palate with notes of lemon rind and honey. It also has a great line and freshness, which is reminiscent of oyster shells and sea-spray. It is delicious and one of the most interesting wines you'll have for the money. Let it open your mind about what Semillon can be. Stunning wine! - Chris L
A seductive nose of white peach, nectarine, white blossom, chamomile, honey and a touch of vanilla. Nice acidity and weight to the body with a bitter almond finish. A great Barossa Semillon. - Aaron C.
Brett Grocke is a 6th generation Barossan who believes in 'wines built from the dirt up'. This Magnolia Blanc (100% Semillon) is exactly that. The fruit comes off three organically-farmed sites planted on the granitic sands below Mengler's Hill in the Barossa. There is a beautiful and elegant extraction of apricot-like flavour from the skins of the Semillon which sits long on your palate. It also has a great line and freshness, which is reminiscent of oyster shells. It is delicious and one of the most interesting wines you'll have for the money. Let it open your mind about what Semillon can be. Stunning wine! - Chris L
